Arrived on Wednesday in Moscow, Xi Jinping landed just before a wave of Ukrainian drones. Warmly welcomed by Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin, the Chinese leader is the guest of honor for these festivities. The Chinese president said Thursday that his country would be held alongside Russia in front of “Hegemonic harassment“, without detailing exactly what he was talking about. But we perceive the current accusation made against the West to want to impose his rules.
Among the other guests, Lula Da Silva, Brazilian president. His country is one of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa). Countries allied by their desire to counter what they call Western domination. Arrived in Russia too, the political leader of Bosnia Serbs, Milorad Dodik, wrote “Moscow is a beautiful city” on X.
The only European guest present, Robert Fico, the Slovak Prime Minister. His presence symbolizes the pro Russian turn he has given to his country since his return to power. For his trip, he will have to get around a little difficulty. Baltic countries have prohibited him overview of their airspace.
All these countries are there either to assert and strengthen their link with Moscow, or to underline their opposition to the great Western powers. Symbolically but also sometimes by signing bilateral agreements. This is the case of China, once again, which has just signed A “joint declaration on the deepening of the global coordination strategic partnership.” And from Congo Brazzaville, which signed a strengthening of its military links yesterday with Russia. A total of twenty states responded. Which is low enough for an event of this magnitude.
